Late Foreign News.

Berlin, Oct. 4.-Signor Crispi,
the Italian Premier, in an interview
with newspaper reporter at Frank
fort, declared that the desire of his
Government was to maintain peace
and the European equilibrium, and
that Italy had therefore joined the
Austro-G German alliance. He ex-
pressed his fear that Russia would
advance upon STEAMBOAT, and de-
clared that Italy could not permit
the Levant TO become Russian
lake.
London, October 5.-The papers
are filed with comments on the in
terview between Signor Crispi and
Prince Bismarck. 1t is stated that
one of the results of the admission
of Italy into the Austro-G erman
alliance is an agreement between
the three Powers to oppose French
aggression.
There is intense jubilation at the
alliance between Germany and Italy,
but France is bitterly chagrined.
The relations between France and
Italy are strained, owing to difficulty
in arranging an agreement as to the
basis of the renewal of the CONNER
cial treaty.
London, Oct. 6.-An impression
| is abroad that Turkey is merely
coquetting over the Russian pro-
posals for the settlement of Bulga-
ria, and is unwilling to actively in
terfere.
London, Oct. 4.-Advices from
Madagascar report that owing to
the strained relations existing be-
tween the Malagasy Government
and the French Resident on that
island, the latter has lowered his
flag and left Antananarivori.
London, Oct. 5.-The cause Of
the rupture in Madagascar is con-
nected with the granting of an ex-
equatur to the American and Bril-
fish Consuls. A renewal of war
with France is imminent.
Melbourne, Oct. 6.-At meet
ing of the Board of Health to-day,
it was decided that vessels coming
from Tasmanian ports, other than
Launceston, be granted pratique
after undergoing thorough inspec-
ton. In consequence Of this deci-
sion the Union Company's Mararoa,
which has been in quarantine since
September 80, will be released to-
night.
Berlin, Oct. 6.-The semi-officlal
"North German Gazette" to-day,
in an article upon the recent inter.
view between Prince Bismarck and
Signor Crispi, states that the result
of the meeting had been that Italy
and Germany, in conjunction with
Austria, have resolved to do their
utmost to prevent a European war,
and, if necessary, to act together to
avert the same.
London, Oct. 7.-Intelligence has
been received from Rangoon that
the camp of the rebel chief Bosh'
way, in Upper Burmah, has beer
captured by the British forces, and
the rebel leader has been killed.
